Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name CAMPHENE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Camphene

Camphene is a monoterpene with a bicyclic skeleton that is bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane substituted by geminal methyl groups at position 2 and a methylidene group at position 3. It is a widespread natural product found in many essential oils. It has a role as a fragrance and a plant metabolite. It is a monoterpene and a carbobicyclic compound. — ChEBI
